Wheel of Fortune

September 21, 2022

I am still in my 108 day journey of communion with trees---most particularly Sister Southern Cypress.

Cypress is a deciduous tree---it's needles turn reddish brown in the winter/fall. Tomorrow is the autumnal equinox. Cypress is a tree to remind us of time's cycles and that all is born, dies, and returns again.


There is myth and speculation that Jesus' cross, especially the horizontal bar was made of cypress.

Scott Cunningham, that old magician, writes that Cypress essential oil is good for healing and easing losses. I had a healing emergency this week (better now) and using the scent of Cypress.

We have cypress growing on the back of our property, but I haven't been back there because the McNasty neighbors haven't yet moved.

I will visit my trees when I can. We have a lovely boardwalk fashioned nature trail north of here. Six Mile Cypress Slough. An oasis in the midst of urban development. You can smell the change in the quality of the air when you enter. I will revisit when it is less hot and humid here in SW Florida.

Blessings to all sentient, and sapient beings! And that of course is all!


Gaian Tarot--18--The Moon
Awaken and trust your intuition.


silence is a more powerful weapon of protest


Then, why are you here?
To join the dark, silent revolution.


What do you believe?
That all has sentience and sapience.


What is your heart's desire?
For human voices to go mute.


What will you learn?
The language of trees, rocks, rivers, mycelium.


And in the end?
It is all mystery.
